    Alternate warships of nations

    Actually, that did came to my mind when I designed it (well, sort of, kinda just referenced various battleships on Conway), perhaps a bit of bulging of the hull will be in order for a refit? Especially given how much more extra stuff will be added...

    Alternate warships of nations

    Actually given the turret shapes were sort of based on German designs it's closer to Baden on steroids...

    Alternate warships of nations

    There are people who are good at springsharp, there are people who are good at lore & backstory. Then there's me, so don't expect either from me. XD What I do have is a bit of free time, gmax, and a lot of old assets*... Yep, that's 4 quad 15in guns! (and 18 6in guns, but who cares?) Length...

    The Dogger Bank War - how a North Sea battle changed the course of the 20th century

    I can already see the memes of this WWII... USSA: "Well, that went well enough... could be worse." Russia, Japan: "FUCK YOU!" France: *cries in the corner* I guess ITTL USSA didn't lose that many people (relatively speaking) either...

    The Dogger Bank War - how a North Sea battle changed the course of the 20th century

    Also keep in mind that US cities are not tinderboxes like Japanese cities at the time, so the effects of early nukes, while still spectacular, won't be near as eye popping as OTL...

    Alternate warships of nations

    2 reasons: That the angle of the pic made the hull looked higher than it actually is, and it was a scaled down version of another ship. Although it was only a difference of 13m in length and 1m in beam.

    If only I had a triple 12in gun turret model lying around... ... wait a minute. I do. Hold that thought. edit:

    AHC: more genuine scholars / intellectuals as President of the US

    A very different national mentality and founding myth for one, i.e. one that less fetishize the small independent farmers and common man. Like don't even pretend that the common man and the simple farmer are the bedrock of the country, it was always the cities that's the driving force for the...

    What peace terms could Britain have obtained from Germany at end-1940?

    With what future knowledge would the UK Government even have at this point? The final solution wasn't even formalized at this point and while the nazis were certainly treating the Jews like shit they were also doing similar things to a bunch of other groups. Perhaps, but still not exactly...

    HMS Anson soldiers on

    Cuban volunteers Diabolus ex machina, probably.

    HMS Anson soldiers on

    Why do I have this sinking feeling that Anson might not actually survive the war? In which she heroically dies in a/the critical battle (although with little loss of life, that thick armor once again brought enough time for evacuation) and while there'll be great mourning the government was low...

    What peace terms could Britain have obtained from Germany at end-1940?

    But why? For what? How does that benefit the UK? Those were the questions that has to be answered then and there. (and no, brownie points to be redeemed decades later doesn't count)

    Big Bird and STS-51-L

    Wasn't that particular launch broadcasted live in a lot of schools even OTL? If big bird was involved i would imagine even daycare centers would tune in for that...

    The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    I mean, I'm pretty sure the blissful dumbassery is just his youtube persona once he realized that stupidity nets him more subs, the change to his current hoisoiboy was a gradual process... Also of note, Alex the Rambler also played this mod:

    How Can The Education System Stay Relevant?

    Well, there's always the dystopian option of selling a good chunk of the education system directly to corporations, as in letting large companies & corps to decide what their future wage slave labor need to know. The government is still forking out the funding, just the corporations having most...

    Seelöwe

    Oh... already looking promising. Hmm... time to pointlessly speculate on what battleships the HSF would have by this point. So we know the war ended in 1919 (whether or not an actual armistice occurred earlier is unknown so far). It would be reasonable to assume that Germany would have been...

    The Dogger Bank War - how a North Sea battle changed the course of the 20th century

    I wonder if, decades later, if there'll be documentaries of the three match ups between the 2 countries, with possibly a intentional parallel to the Punic Wars... and people will keep on uploading it to Pornhub (or whatever that world's equivalent is)

    Alternate Kriegsmarine

    They might, but at least at a terrible cost. Those narrow landing gears were just asking for trouble... much like the Seafire in RN service, except in the German's case they have a much steeper learning curve and less resources to deal with said curve.
